If this is not a typo, then it is wrong.
command is /oper nick password
or /oper nick (or /oper)
and the password is asked.

 On the other hand, check for the user limit in the Y line (and if this is 
exceeded) (if there is one). Also check if you enabled encrypted passwords 
and you use a plaintext in the O line. Finaly, afaik, O-lines are not matched 
against the IP(unless an ip is specified), but against the hostnames. This 
means that in the case you connect from localhost, your hostname may be 
localhost even if debian.nepi.it is 127.0.0.1. Try a whois on you or change 
the oline to something like:

O:*@*:password:asxoli:O:10
